This Notice of Intent (NOI) DE-FOA-0003607, is to Issue Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) No. DE-FOA-0003606, titled, "Improving Efficiency, Reliability, and Flexibility of Coal-Based Power Plants"

The objectives of the planned projects are to facilitate the development of advanced wastewater management systems, dual firing retrofits, and natural gas cofiring systems for coal-fired facilities with a compelling opportunity for strategic refurbishment. Achieving this goal would help enable a rapid and cost-effective path to ensuring affordable, reliable, secure power at scale to address the surging demand from national defense installations, semiconductor fabrication plants, AI data centers, critical mineral processing, and industrial re-shoring, all of which require access to power.
